The history of UN interventions on migration began with the initiation of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1919. Even though there have been several conventions and treaties to protect the rights of migrants and refugees over the years, major intervention by international agencies in managing migration occurred during the neo-liberal era, where short-term mobility of labour is important for global capital to thrive. To match the demand for low- and semi-skilled workers, agencies like the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Bank promoted business-friendly migration management approaches, while snubbing worker and migrant rights.

The Christmas season, of course, is an appropriate time of year to reflect on busyness. The time between Christmas and New Year should be a time for reflection and relaxation, but is often stressed. Rather than taking time out after the busyness of Christmas preparations, many of us find ourselves in a whirlwind of sales shopping, sporting activities, or visiting friends or family. One form of busyness is replaced by another. Being busy has become so ubiquitous it has come to mean everything and nothing. As more people identify with the problem of busyness, some of us seek advice from time management experts about how to manage our busy lives. But data suggests that we are not as busy as we think we are. Social scientists who, specialise in researching every day time- use can compare trends in how we spend time from the 1960s onwards. The UK expert on time use, Jonathan Gershuny, claims that actual time spent in work has not increased since the 1960s - but what we mean by busyness has changed over time. In his view, busyness has become a badge of honour. There are a number of reasons for this change in definition. More women in the workforce mean that more households have to juggle both partners working with the demands of domestic routines. Meanwhile, social prestige is associated with being busy and, as we often experience at Christmas, leisure time has become more of an intensive experience.

What is/are the reason(s) for the change in the definition of busyness?

1. Social prestige is associated with being busy.

2. More women in the workforce
